“Liberty and love These two I must have. For my love I’ll sacrifice My life. For liberty I’ll sacrifice My love.”
― Barbara Demick, Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea

“We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms -- to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.”
― Viktor E. Frankl

“Don’t aim at success—the more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it.”
― Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

“We live together, we act on, and react to, one another; but always and in all circumstances we are by ourselves. The martyrs go hand in hand into the arena; they are crucified alone. Embraced, the lovers desperately try to fuse their insulated ecstasies into a single self-transcendence; in vain. By its very nature every embodied spirit is doomed to suffer and enjoy in solitude.”
― Aldous Huxley, The Doors of Perception & Heaven and Hell
